JUNE 15 (Reuters) — Four people have been confirmed dead after a building collapse in the city of Zunyi in southwest China’s Guizhou Province on Sunday.

Part of the nine-story apartment building, built two decades ago, collapsed at 05:58.

As of 22:30, firefighters had removed four bodies from the building, after a 15-hour rescue effort. Three others were injured in the collapse.

The building housed eight households, with a total of 22 residents, 12 of whom were not in the building when it collapsed.
